Good, so what portions of C-51 is the SCC going to have to protect you from?

Probably the one's the CCLA and BCCLA et al challenge in court would be my guess. That's been the pattern so far.

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

And which ones are they going to challenge?

Those which are implemented by police.

I fail to see your point. Illegal arrest is just what it says, no matter which cop does it. Wouldnt you think.

It was your point with regards to undercover police......

I'll leave that up to the SC to determine, something I'm quite certain they'll be doing soon enough.

Right, so why are you fearful of the legislation, the same legislation also supported by the Liberals?

I dont like the legislation regardless of who supports it. However I would point out that both Liberal and NDP said they wanted to see much better oversight before they would support it. Thats a possible reasonable compromise. Harper droning on about it is Jihadis who will take away our freedom and not his law is the same sort of nonsense he is known to use.

The Liberals have stated they will support the legislation as is..........

He said he will bring forth the discussion of increased oversight as an election issue.

After his party has already supported the legislation..........

I don’t see how posing as protestors is any different than police posing as would “Johns”, drug users, black market firearms buyers/sellers or would be terrorists etc……..

The idea, as has actually already been stated, is that they can pose as protesters, provoke violence and cause the police to shut down the protest under false pretenses.

There are distinctions on what can and cannot be done by undercover officers (likewise intelligence officers) so I fail to see the cause of concern………

I guess you haven't read this thread then. They were found by a judge to have acted improperly.

Again, this is with the existing legislation - and you haven't acknowledged that I'm stating that. The reason that I am stating that is: we're at the point where we can't protect the rights of the innocent anymore, nor can we prevent against terrorism. We have a system that might be able to do both, or neither depending on how it's implemented.

So it doesn't matter.

Provoke violence and to commit violence are two different things………just as an undercover cop can’t kill a person well undercover. I don’t see any Rights violations by the State if police infiltrate radical groups at protests, and in turn, those they are with start torching police cars and smashing Starbucks windows…….and riot police arrest them.

I guess I missed that part, I'll reread the thread.

What Rights were violated, under our present laws, by police infiltrating protest groups? Likewise, how would Bill C-51 curtail said assumed violated rights further?

If police infiltrate a biker gang or terror cell, are they also violating the Rights of criminals and terrorists?

I went back and read the members posts, but don't see anywhere where your points were confirmed......it sounded more akin to Alex Jones tin-foil hat padding.......are you talking about a different thread perhaps?

You can stop asking me that now. I've already stated that I don't think the new bill will make a difference.

The G20 clampdown was illegal, and done under existing laws. So, it doesn't matter.

If you ask me again then I will just state this again.

Ever heard of Mark Fenton. He was TO police supt. charged with 5 counts of unlawful arrests. One cop has been convicted of assault. Ever heard the term kettling.

Were they both charged because they conducted lawful or unlawful acts?

Let me give you a clue, there is a reason they call it unlawful arrest. I hope you are aware that assault is also illegal.

So that would counter Micheal's suggestion that our current laws can violate Canadian's Rights.....That the two officers were charged is a demonstration that our current laws work as advertised........so, what changes with C-51?
